Watching the [ClarionLive Open Webinar](https://www.youtube.com/user/ClarionLive) lets you see how others are using the IDE. I often see developers using the Tree Mode Drop List to change APP views. A faster way is there are 6 buttons on the end of the toolbar that change the Tree Mode view in 1 click: ![image](https://clarionhub-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/b/bb196bc5a58a93f3291a5763f8c124a38a86ed69.png) ![image](https://clarionhub-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/d/d87a827bce1eb53b327d78f7412d3671e391ab8b.png) ---

Totally agree, I never use the tree mode drop list anymore. ---

And where/what is the setting that allows those toolbar buttons to be visible? ---

On my machine, it’s on the application toolbar. So I guess, try opening an app. ---

Got it. I only had a solution open, but not an App file. ---

I forgot about a favorite tool [GifCap.dev](https://gifcap.dev/) that does screen capture videos without installing, you give permission to share your screen with the web page. An Animated GIF makes this a bit more obvious. ![ToolbarTreeMode2](https://clarionhub-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/7/7e8cba58c20abaaf3d6aff5c0dacac72d90bf682.gif) GifCap has the option to grab a Screen (monitor) or Window. If I just grab the Clarion window then the tool tips do not get captured so I grabbed the Screen. It has an easy way to drag a crop rectangle over the capture so I end up with just part of Clarion. ---

Good tip, now the bonus question: This there some way to hide that drop down list? Then I would be forced to use the buttons so I would get used to. Otherwise I will forget this tip of course. ---

Can’t believe how many years i’ve been using the drop down list instead of the toolbar! Creature of habit, ugh.
